Underwood is a growing community with a strong employer base. Because of the rapidly expanding energy sector in McLean County, Underwood has experienced a housing shortage in the past, especially for temporary and/or seasonal workers. To address these needs, a housing plan for the City of Underwood is currently in development and will be posted as a pdf upon completion. Click here to view a copy of the Underwood Housing Study.
In order to get the most up-to-date information on housing, please call Diane Schell, Underwood City Hall, at 701-442-5481.
Lots for Sale
The City of Underwood currently owns 20 lots east of Westridge Golf Course (the Westridge Estates). Infrastructure for these lots, including water, sewer, street, curb, and gutter, is completed, and these lots are ready for home construction. Special incentives to purchase these lots, including property tax abatement for a period of five years, are currently available.
A number of other lots on the south side of town (the Repnow-Mees Addition) are also owned by the City of Underwood. Infrastructure for these lots, including power, telephone, water, sewer, street, curb, and gutter, is also completed, and these lots are ready for home construction. Special incentives to purchase these lots, including property tax abatement for a period of five years, are currently available. Other incentives, which are not currently described in this web site, may also be available.
New Home Construction
The Underwood Housing Demand Analysis, completed in December 2009, indicated a need for new home construction in the area to meet the needs of both permanent and seasonal workers. In response to that need, the Underwood Area Economic Development Corporation applied for and received a grant award from the ND Housing Finance Agency to build a spec home in Underwood’s Repnow-Mees Subdivisions.
To meet the need for new home construction in Underwood, the Underwood Area Economic Development Corporation, in partnership with Building Innovations, a building contractor based in Underwood, is building a spec home in Underwood in Summer 2010.
